The legendary singer, Thomas Mapfumo suffered a stroke, his family has told ZimEye, revealing that this was after the 2 year ordeal of being subjected to Wicknell Chivayo statements coercing him to take the convicted fraudster’s money. Dr Mapfumo spent over 25 months contacting ZimEye for assistance to stop Chivayo from publishing statements with his name, a development that has seen the controversial Mnangagwa hedge-fund-holder obtaining publishing assistance from a UK based journalist Lance Guma. The riveting events are captured in the following footage- On video, Wicknell Chivayo thanks Lance Guma, “thank you for being a wonderful friend!” before MP Job Sikhala’s career is destroyed (as he adopts a fake Mandela accent influenced) by Guma’s other friend Hopewell Chin’ono, at a Mapfumo show, as Guma drives Chin’ono around UK, and Blessed Geza’s 100 activists are jailed after Chin’ono falsified that Geza-soldiers have deserted army, stolen guns, and Chris Mutsvangwa has fled to Dubai. Later, Geza returns to Zimbabwe in a coffin as his activists remain incarcerated. In the period, legendary singer spends over 25 months telephoning Simba Chikanza for help to stop Chivayo (who’s a convicted fraudster) to stop pestering him so that he accepts Chivayo’s monetary gifts. For over 2 years, Mapfumo repeatedly pleads with Chivayo and his ZANU PF party to stop publishing his name over Chivayo’s money offers because as he says, is causing stress and distress to him; because all he wants are his 5 cars back, the vehicles which were seized by the ZANU PF run police, illegally and unlawfully about 30 years ago. He says he is traumatised by statements that suggesting a possibility of the hard working artist touching money handed by a convicted fraudster.Famous Quotations the betrayalLocal News Assisted by Lance Guma, Hopewell Chin’ono loads more statements confusing Sikhala until the sharp MP ends up walking out of prison talking like a Nelson Mandela incarnate. His career and public respect soddenly ends after recording statements influenced by Chin’ono. Meanwhile, Wicknell Chivayo continues repeating his rambling and at one time he is supported by Chin’ono to harass both Mapfumo and Chikanza (Mapfumo’s own mouthpiece to stop Chivayo’s statements). Later, Thomas Mapfumo suffers a stroke, as a result of Chivayo’s statements. His family tell Simba Chikanza “mdara is not well, he suffered a stroke.” His current UK manager Tau Cheteni also weighs in his concerns saying, “mdara is not well after the stroke,” urging that people must stop harassing him. But in July, a journalist (Lance Guma) betrays trust and goes ahead to republish more of Chivayo’s statements. In his now vulnerable situation, the 81 years old is forced to record a video supporting Lance Guma’s algorithms that praise Chivayo as a businessman when in reality he is a convicted fraudster and a person of interest in multiple jurisdictions over money laundering allegations.Executive Branch 2 years after Mapfumo spent 25 months complaining that he doesn’t want Chivayo’s money and he does not want his name published alongside Chivayo’s statements, Lance Guma publishes that Chivayo who’s a convicted fraudster, is a “businessman.” Guma also publishes a statement purported to be Mapfumo’s contradicting the elderly singer’s position on accepting gifts. Guma has spent the last week, visually ‘drifting’ Mapfumo’s wishes from a function singing fee, to a straight cut “gift.”African political analysis Lance Guma was approached for a comment.

The controversial ‘ambassador’ Uebert Angel Uebert Angel announced in a recent sermon saying the world is now ready for women presidents, and likens his country to Namibia which has discovered oil under that country’s first female head of state. “I want you to understand now has taken this to mean… oh it’s going to be the next president of this country, it’s going to be a woman. I respect women, leaders and all that. Look at what is happening in Namibia, the first now they have found oil. Oh my God! Under a woman’s leadership. Now things are moving for Namibia, that’s a woman in control.” Angel’s statement coincides with whispers suggesting that First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa is about to be appointed president. This was also more openly talked about by war veteran Knox Chivero on the Geza Revolution movement’s X handle.

The controversial journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono advised that the corruption accused, tenderpreneur, Kuda Tagwirei must be protected. He used his 2018 statement to instruct ZANU activists, Rutendo Matinyarare and Joshua Maponga to pursue their issues privately. Announced Joshua Maponga in a video that’s since been deleted: “I had a phone call with Benson and Hopewell. After our squabble and mis-directed, miss informative videos that Rutendo had sent on the social media space, then I needed to clarify. And when Hopewell saw our battle, he called, we called, we had a conference call together to clarify those issues. Hopewell Chin’ono advised to me that we needed to bury our hatchets so that we can be able to develop the Zimbabwe story in a more positive light.” Maphosa’s claim confirms what Chin’ono comments during the week and what he’s been communicating to other people since 2018. Responding over the claim, Chin’ono says of a truth he had a conversation with Maponga and Matinyarare and he truly advised the two to pursue secrecy over Tagwirei issues, and deal with the Matinyarare-Tagwirei allegations silently (directly between them). Chin’ono’s statement is contrasted with his many others before, when he has issued the same wording hush down advice over disclosures exposing Emmerson Mnangagwa. In Aug 2018, Chin’ono accused the civil society of causing tension with army, of which he advised that the army must pursue the civil society and western embassies who were accused of funding protests, directly, to silence them. In an X spaces podcast he admitted that he attended a meeting with Emmerson Mnangagwa in the company of a GoldMafia businessman he works for called Kaala Mpinga. He said this as he accused ZimEye over his online mentorship statement that he purchased his first home from a UK £50,000 sportscar loan from 1996. Chin’ono’s many inconsistencies of character have led to questions being raised over who he is. Many have been questioning the validity of his claim to a 1996 loan of that level, and authenticity of his claim that his name changes were He said: “What Simba keeps posting, that I exposed people is a lie. The, what happened was that I was taken to have a conversation in 2018 which I publicly talked about. In that conversation, there was the British ambassador, EU ambassador, a Congolese businessman called Kala Mpinga, Vice President Chiwenga, and then we were taken to the President of the country, Emmerson Mnangagwa. It had nothing with all this bullshit that Simba Chikanza posts about. Simba Chikanza is asking me to account for a car I bought 30 years ago. I asked you that people like Kamun said, you know, so if that's the guy that I was never going to answer these nonsense, I was it. But, you know, if you ask me to account for a card that I put both failures ago, because you hate me so much. You don't like me. You know, you hate me so much. And I have more money in my, in my current account, than all those figures that you talk about. And that money can account for it.”

🔴 BREAKING NEWS: Mnangagwa Lover Leak Exposes “State Sex-urity” Coup Inside Zimbabwe’s Intelligence Services By ZimEye Investigations Desk | 15 June 2025 A devastating audio leak has exposed the extent to which President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s private bedroom affairs have overtaken Zimbabwe’s state intelligence operations, triggering alarm across the nation’s security establishment and prompting urgent calls for a national inquiry. The voice note, now circulating widely on social media, features Rumbidzai Rusere — a Deputy Director in the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and a long-time married lover of Mnangagwa — issuing direct instructions to the President to neutralise CIO Director-General Fulton Mangwanya, accusing him of blocking an intelligence mission targeting whistleblower Blessed Geza and citizen activist Gifford Gomwe. It is alleged Rusere is behind the abduction of Gomwe’s mother. “Hi, um, so I know you’re probably busy right now, but… just wanted to let you know that Fulton is really being a problem. Can you please deal with him? He’s trying to block issue yaGeza… that assignment you gave me. It’s frustrating me. But otherwise, about our stuff — let me know when you’re free. I miss you. I miss it.” This mix of romantic intimacy and executive command, allegedly authenticated by whistleblowers inside the CIO, blurs the line between statecraft and seduction — and signals what many insiders are calling the collapse of Mnangagwa’s presidency into a private bedroom cabal. ⸻ 🕵🏾♂️ CIO in Disarray as Rusere Bypasses Official Chain of Command Insiders confirm Rusere has established a parallel command structure, reportedly funded by state-linked businessmen Kudakwashe Tagwirei and Wicknell Chivayo. Key allegations surfaced in a thread by prominent whistleblower Tafadzwa Bambaninga include: •Unapproved intelligence missions targeting activists without DG Mangwanya’s knowledge. •Abduction of Gifford Gomwe’s elderly mother, reportedly ordered by Rusere. •Massive offshore wealth in Dubai, Singapore, and South Africa — funded via looted public funds and gifts from Mnangagwa. •Direct oversight of CIO field agents, effectively sidelining the DG’s office. •Protection of controversial businessmen like Delish Nguwaya and Chivayo using state resources. One CIO officer told ZimEye anonymously: “Rusere has Mnangagwa by the balls. She decides who gets fired. The real DG is no longer Mangwanya — it’s her.” ⸻ 🧨 Attempt to Derail 21 May Petition to Retire Mnangagwa The leak also exposes Rusere’s involvement in sabotaging the citizens’ petition submitted on 21 May 2025, demanding Mnangagwa’s immediate retirement — a document reportedly endorsed by military officers. Blessed Geza, a central figure in that campaign, has now been marked for “elimination”, according to the recording. Military insiders, already concerned about Mnangagwa’s weakening grip, say the audio confirms their worst fears: “This is no longer a presidency. It’s a brothel with guns,” one colonel remarked. ⸻ 🛑 War Veterans’ March Warning Comes True In March 2025, senior war veterans publicly declared that Zimbabwe “no longer has a president”, warning that executive power had been outsourced to personal mistresses. This new leak appears to confirm that assessment — with national security policies now shaped in the heat of private affairs. ⸻ 🛑 Public Calls for Action Civic organisations and human rights groups are now demanding: •An urgent judicial inquiry into CIO operations. •Immediate suspension of Rusere pending investigation. •Parliamentary action under Section 97 of the Constitution for potential removal of Mnangagwa on grounds of serious misconduct and incapacity. ⸻ ⚖️ Will There Be Consequences? As State House remains tight-lipped, and CIO Director-General Mangwanya reportedly “shocked and sidelined,” Zimbabwe is facing one of its most serious governance crises since the 2017 coup. This time, however…
